My question involves criminal law for the state of: DC
I was caught shoplifting a $20 item from Best Buy. Police Officer approached me while in the store and escorted me to a private room where I was asked to provide my drivers license and sign a document barring me from the store for 1 year. I was not arrested but was told if I return to the store within these 12 months I will be arrested for unlawfully trespassing.
How will this infraction effect me? Will this be on my permanent record? Will this effect me working on a government contract? In applying to graduate schools? Etc.
Your legal advice is most appreciated. Thank you.
